17I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,
18for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,
19in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;
20and so counting it honour to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named -- that upon another`s foundation I might not build --
21but according as it hath been written, `To whom it was not told concerning him, they shall see; and they who have not heard, shall understand.`
22Wherefore, also, I was hindered many times from coming unto you,
23and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come unto you for many years,
